SHOWBASTIAN COE (1) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten a nose, over 1000m at this track. Will go forward again and looks tough to beat. COSENTINO (4) is progressing well this preparation, landing the prize by one length last time out over 1200m at this track. Solid top-three prospects. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when seventh over 1200m at Riccarton Park Synthetic three-and-a-half weeks ago after being prominent at the bend. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. PLATINUM DESIGNS (5) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten one length, over 1200m at this track. Should be winding up late again.
